ANTA TRAIN DRIVE-THROUGH—This year The Santa Train will follow the same traditional routes throughout our Paramount neighborhoods—but very slowly and without stopping. The Train will operate beginning on Monday, December 7, to Thursday, December 10, starting at 6 p.m. each night. See CityScape on page 13 for the route schedule. Everyone is welcome to greet Santa by waving from a safe distance in front of their homes as he and his helpers glide by. Please remember to wear a mask if outdoors and when in proximity to non-household members, and please maintain social distancing of six feet between individuals. The traditional apples and candy canes will be handed out at the Breakfast with Santa Drive-Through event (see page 13 for details and visit paramountcity.com for additional information).
